@Progress & @Garlicdesign: I agree with both of you. :) :) Instead of copying and pasting single characters, it is more economical to type in batch somewhere, and then copy-paste the whole thing at once...

@Hudavendigar
I guess that at least most operating systems should allow to adjust anti-aliasing in settings. (But I know how to change it only in Windows 7)

And in the meantime, maybe at least that would help a bit in case You decide to copy-paste individual letters:
(upper set is the font/size I'm using for "main caption" - country/name etc.; middle set for credits and bottom for the descriptions of particular vehicles on the template)

Here's what happens when I use the prescribed font sizes in a black and white BMP file on my machine ... In fact, I use 11 pts for the title and 8 pts for the credits. Anybody with the same problem?...

@Darthpanda Here's a try for cage armor:

Image

Bar thickness is two pixels. Upper pixel is two-three tones lighter than the original color. Lower pixel is two-three tones darker than the original color. Vehicle body behind the cage armor is four-five tones darker than the original. Perpendicular bars: The first from the left is behind the horizontal bars. The second is in front of the horizontal bars.

When Saved as a GIF file in paint, it remove aliasing generated by text you write in that drawing... but do not draw in that GIF drawing since it change all colors to weird once.

Hi. A south american gun: Citer (also called Citefa in some sources) 155 mm L33 M77/81.
Image
The first one is as it was shown in 1996 when the Group 101 was renamed. It is shown with the standart artillery tractor, the Fiat 6605, both in olive drab.
The second one is one of four guns of Grupo 101 during 1982 Falklands War. It was camouflaged with two green shades. The little Unimog appears an odd choice for the primary mover, but it was the only truck aviable in the late date of the arrival of the guns to the islands. The red elevation wheel looks odd, but is painted in that way in the restored gun of the Muckleburgh collection. Finally, one of the 12 guns of the Croatian Army, with TAM 150 truck. Cheers.
Credits: I borrowed Glorfindel´s TAM 150 and Unimog 404. And the croatian gun is painted in the same shade of green of the yugoslavian truck.
Thanks Pegasus and hudavendigar for the ideas for the plastic windows in the canvas!

Nice to see the CITER 155/L33. Next came the CALA30 (155/L45). Will we see this gun as well?
